The $100 laptop, 3 years away!
Well, last year OLPC released the $200 laptop. It is cheap, but not yet their target, isn’t it? However, OLPC stated that their next target is to reach the $75 computer and next, well, the…$20 computer. Speaking of cheap laptops…
I don’t know how they will reach this target, really, what can they remove from those computers to make them cost $20? What could they possibly remove? We had a target here, the 5000 Euro car, for which, personally I have paid 10200 Euro…pretty far away, isn’t it? But the target sounds good and people keep an eye on XO laptop.
I know that Intel and other big companies joined forces to reach the target. I don’t know how much they actually believe in this, but sounds good and it is a good marketing thing to do, getting involved in educational projects with such heavenly targets…
